The National Rescue Movement (NRM) held a press conference where its National Chairman, Prince Chinedu Obi, reaffirmed the party's support for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) amid allegations of court actions challenging the party's leadership. The NRM clarified that it believes INEC is in compliance with the rulings of the Federal High Court and rejected claims that they are not. The party's leadership emphasized the need for transparency and integrity within the political process, urging the judiciary to remain impartial and not be exploited by individuals trying to manipulate party control.

Obi articulated concerns about 'forum shopping,' a practice where individuals seek out judicial venues believed to be more favorable to their case, which he claims threatens the stability of political parties in Nigeria. He urged the Chief Justice of Nigeria to take action against those abusing the judicial system to attack the party's leadership legitimacy. The NRM's stance aims to protect the party's identity and integrity in the face of legal challenges it perceives as undermining its structure.

This press conference reflects the ongoing tensions in Nigerian politics where party control and electoral integrity are hotly contested. The NRM aims to ensure that the party's leadership remains intact without undue influence from the judiciary or manipulative court actions, emphasizing the importance of electoral justice in maintaining democracy in Nigeria.
